Nothing changes a schedule in the Desert faster than rain. It is such a rare event in the Valley that when it happens we have to change what we have planned to what will gives us the maximum benefit. An example of this is today and yesterday the game plan was to foliar fertilized; however, with the rains in the afternoon and the potential for more today we switched from foliar to granular. The reasons for the switch are because the foliar cold potentially be washed off the foliage thus giving the turf minimal to no effect, while the granular will get watered in better by the rain thus giving us a maximum effect.
Growing and maintaining turf is a ever changing science that no set schedule can be applied. Those is set a schedule and do not deviate are throwing money away and producing a lesser quality of turf.
